Att företag köper upp andra företag är en viktig del av näringslivet. Det är ett sätt för företag att snabbt växa och tillskansa sig värden som gör företaget starkare. En företagsöverlåtelse är dock inte riskfri. Den är ofta kostsam och det finns inga garantier för att köpet lönar sig. Det köpande företaget kan dock till viss del skydda sin investering genom att i överlåtelseavtalet föra in en konCorporate acquisitions are a vital part of the business world. They are a way to ensure growth. They are also a good way of adding values to the company, which in turn makes the company stronger. However, an acquisition is not risk free. It is often expensive and there are no guarantees that the acquisition will be profitable in the end. The buyer can to some extent protect its investment with a n

In this article we present a concept for a ubiquitous service that allows memories to be saved and stored during an individual's lifetime and later, after death, for those digital remains to be published and experienced at the specific geographic location where they were created. Through this concept we explore ways to combine modern technology with century old habits at the end of life. We as

The genome of the Belinda variety of the hexaploid oat (Avena sativa) has recently been sequenced and assembled. This project aims to improve the assembly by clustering the thousands of scaffolds into their three ancestral subgenomes using Principle Component Analysis (PCA) of kmer and repeat-element frequencies. The method was developed using a chromosome level assembly of hexaploid Wheat (Tritiu

Bäst i klassen undersöker sambandet mellan maskulinitet och politik i den svenska arbetarrörelsens konst under mitten av 1900-talet eller den så kallade folkhemsperioden. Undersökningen utgår från de två kvarvarande väggmålningarna i Folkets hus Malmö, Arbetarrörelsens historia av Robert Nilsson och April av Bertil Landelius. Målningarna invigdes med byggnaden 1947. Uppsatsen bygger på konsthistorTop of the Class Ideals of masculinity in the mural art of Folkets hus Malmö Bäst i klassen investigates the connection between masculinity and politics in the in the art of Swedish working-class movement the mid-20th century or “folkhemsperioden”. It studies the two remaining painted murals in the main reception hall of Folkets hus Malmö Arbetarrörelsens historia by Robert Nilsson and April by B

This thesis examines how perpetrators of misogynistic mass murder utilise narrative and storytelling to make meaning of their violent acts towards women. This thesis is hereby an attempt to understand gendered mass violence, and its narrative resources that precede and promote such actions, as part of a wider, misogynist culture centered on a denial of the existence of patriarchal societies and op

Det är sen länge känt att de proteiner som utför cellernas funktioner mestadels inte är oberoende och enskilda, utan sitter ihop i proteinkomplex. Förståelsen om hur dessa komplex ser ut och sitter ihop är väsentlig för att till exempel kunna avgöra deras funktion eller förstå hur strukturändringar från sjukdomar och mutationer kan påverka dem. Bestämning av strukturerna på proteinkomplex brukar gDetermining how proteins interact with each other to form complexes is very important for understanding both disease and cellular functions, but experimentally determining the structures of these complexes is both tedious and slow, which is why a great number of protein-protein docking algorithms have been developed to predict them. To this day, conformational changes in protein backbones have bee

In this study, the reagent 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) and high-performance anion exchange chromatography (HPAEC) were used for carbohydrate characterisation. It was revealed that the DNS reaction is not exclusive to reducing ends as commonly thought, but rather that the reagent reacts with other parts of the carbohydrate molecules as well. HPAEC analysis was used to find how the product distr

This thesis is a meta-evaluation of a specific evaluation; "Demokrati och delaktighet? Delrapport om Storstadssatsningen i Fosie, Hyllie och Södra Innerstaden" . My thesis concerns two of the three district city councils mentioned in the title, in the City of Malmö, and their way of handling the government initiative Storstadssatsningen. The initiative is aiming to promote strategies to

The aim of the study is to examine what kind of help the elderly get, if the elderly get the help they want, how the staff treat them and how much contact they have with others than the home-help staff. Further the study looks on how the well-being of the elderly was affected by the relationship with the home-help staff and contact with other people than the home-help staff. To conduct the study i

The aim of this study has been to critically analyze the political debate surrounding undocumented migrant’s legal rights to healthcare in Sweden. An estimate of 10 000-50 000 undocumented migrants are thought to reside in Sweden. Even though these people contribute to society by supporting Swedish infrastructure with work far below minimum wage, they’re granted very few rights. The United Nations

Många studenter som läser matematik på universitetsnivå, vare sig det är på ett ingenjörsprogram eller matematiklärarprogram, upplever svårigheter i sina studier. Siffror verkar peka på att hälften av ingenjörsstudenter hoppar av sina studier innan de tar examen. Detta är inte helt i enlighet med ett av gymnasieskolans mål, nämligen att gymnasiet ska vara högskoleförberedande. Det verkar då finnasStudents studying mathematics-intensive programmes have a very high rate of dropping out before graduating. This, in a Swedish context, is despite upper-secondary schools saying that students will be prepared to study at a university level upon graduating upper-secondary school. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the perceptions of mathematics as a subject differ between upper-second

The social significance of destiny in old Icelandic sagas and eddas from the thirteenth century is examined in this paper. I ask the question how destiny is explained and in what shape it is described, what it means to the characters in the sagas and how they handle the predictions of their future. The role of the gods and the creatures such as nornor and valkyrior is a central part in trying to u

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: För 420 miljoner år sedan, under den tidsperiod som kallas för silurtiden, låg Sverige vid ekvatorn. Stora delar av landet var täckt av ett grunt och tropiskt hav där bland annat koraller, bläckfiskar, trilobiter och havsskorpioner trivdes. Även Gotland låg under havsytan och det var under denna tid som den kalksten som utgör öns berggrund byggdes upp. Förutom dThe Late Silurian Lau Event is one of the three major events identified in the Gotland strata. It is associated with one of the largest stable carbon isotope excursion recorded in the Phanerozoic, as well as rapid lithology changes, and extinctions and faunal turnovers among various fossil groups. In this study, early vertebrates (fishes) were investigated over the Lau Event interval. The study wa

The intrusion consists of two main rock types, metagabbro and hornblendite. The hornblendite is a cumulate of the metagabbro. The cumulate´s chemical composition suggests that a fractionation of oliv

In one year water research project in Borensberg Waterworks, Motala, Sweden, water quality with respect to microscopic particle accounts both in raw water and drinking water were monitored by Predect’s Online Water Quality Monitoring System. Microscopic particle counts were documented with normalized value in real-time by P-100 for raw water and P-300 for pure water. This report aimed to evaluate

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of Rules of Origin (RoO) on the tuna trade in Thailand by comparing the existing trade agreements of two major partners, the EU and Japan. It is widely recognised that RoO affect the outcome of preferential trade agreements (PTA) due to its complicated nature. Thailand is the largest producer of canned tuna in the world and conducts its trade wit

Background: Pressure from volatile fossil fuel prices, an increased awareness of climate change and technological advances has resulted in a changing relationship between utility companies and their customers and has created a demand for more efficient and controllable electricity products and services. Smart services are seen as a tool to meet the demands of the market and to encourage consumers

Reproductive choice, one’s ability to make informed decisions regarding sexual relations, contraceptive use, and reproductive health care, is not a given. Empowerment is considered a tool for improving women’s ability to make reproductive choices. However, it is a very context-specific approach needing contextual pathways of change. This thesis aims to investigate how Roma CSOs in Serbia work with

Vår studie genomfördes för att undersöka hur väl människor kan identifiera andra människors emotioner utifrån scenarier, där inga visuella signaler eller för mycket bakgrundsinformation gavs. Detta var för att simulera det konceptuella sammanhanget vi får i vardagen där mycket information inte är tillgänglig, men där vi ändå drar slutsatser om vad andra människors emotioner kan vara. Vi konstrueraOur study was conducted to investigate how well people can identify other people's emotions from scenarios where no visual cues, nor too much background information was given. This was to simulate the conceptual context we are given in everyday life where much information is not present yet we make inferences about what other people's emotions might be. We constructed a survey with 24 fict
